Watches
Overview
The market for collectable and luxury watches is incredibly popular. Our watch department can advise on the value of all manner of timepieces – from antique and vintage to modern; from top brands to household names, including military issue watches, sports watches, formal and dress timepieces and pocket watches.
Specific watch brands we handle include: Audemars Piguet, Aquastar, Blancpain, Breitling, Bulgari, Bulova, Cartier, Elgin, Eterna, Glashütte Original, Garrard, Gucci, Hamilton, Hermes, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, A. Lange & Söhne, Longines, Maurice Lacroix, Omega, Oris, Patek Philippe, Roamer, Rolex, Rotary, Seiko, TAG Heuer, Tissot, Vacheron Constantin, Waltham and Zodiac to name just a few.
Wristwatches and pocket watches feature in most of our auctions, making our weekly sales the perfect place for watch lovers to sell or buy.
Whether you are looking for classic collectables, niche pieces, a horological project or a new daily beater, it’s always worthwhile keeping an eye on our auctions.
Recent highlights include the successful sale of a Lichfield watch collection (including vintage Rolex, Jaeger Le Coultre, Omega, military IWC and other desirable watches) discovered in a loft which attracted worldwide interest and subsequently totalled over £40,000.
If you are paying to insure watches which are never worn, why not consider realising their value? We also offer formal written valuations for insurance, probate, family division and asset purposes at attractive rates based on a minimum and hourly charge. Clear and concise documents are prepared to keep for your records and to send to your insurance company/solicitor to be used in the event of a claim or legal purposes.
